Title: Teisen Sir Fon (Anglesey Cake)
Categories: Cake Wales
Yield: 6 Servings

10	oz	Flour
4	oz	Lard
3	oz	Sugar
1		Egg
1/2	ts	Bicarbonate
1	ts	Treacle
1	pn	Mixed spice and ginger
4	oz	Dried fruit
1	c	Milk
1	pn	Salt

Cream the sugar and fat. Mix in the egg and add the remainder of the ingredients, having desolved the bicarbonate in the milk.

Bake in a greased tin for about 3/4 hour in a moderately hot oven. Gas control, Gas Mark 5 (375F). Alternate:

3 teacupsful of flour; 1 teacupful of butter; 1 teacupful of sugar; 2 teaspoonful of baking powder; 2 eggs; milk to mix; a little dried fruit. Rub the butter into the flour, add sugar, baking powder and well beaten eggs and milk if necessary - it must be kept fairly stiff.

This mixture is enough to fill two sandwich tins. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Cut in half, spread with butter and eat hot. Oven control, Gas Mark 5 (375F).

Croeso Cymreig.
